This Chick Gets Around! – Stock Photography
It’s so funny. Being that I work online, I get around to a lot of different websites and am involved in a lot of things. And seeing as I am in the business, I can see what other people are doing and many times know exactly where they’re getting it from. Well, stock photography is [...]
Allowing HTML in WordPress Profile Descriptions
This is a short, technical post on how to solve a problem with WordPress. I realize it will only apply to some, but it is the answer to those who need it. The problem is that the profile field for authors in WordPress is very limiting, by default. It strips all HTML out of the [...]
Digg Effect – In Living Color
A few days ago, I posted an article saying that I got “Dugg”, meaning I got an article onto Digg.com and it sent me a big traffic spike. This was for an article called “Can Linux Replace Windows?” published over on PC Mechanic. I thought I would share with you the stats from the Digg [...]
The Digg Effect
I have written in the past about how to use StumbleUpon to promote. Shortly after I wrote that article, I got over 10,000 page views to one of my articles on PC Mechanic in one day. Just to one article. Since then, I have hit a few other little “sweet spots” with StumbleUpon and gotten [...]
Open Source and Selecting a CMS
Web publishing is an interesting business. The content itself is one thing, but the software you use to publish is another thing altogether. At the basic level, you have those who are still using HTML editors and FTP to publish pages to their site. All I can say is “Ouch!”. I pity you. Then, there [...]
WordPress and Curing High Server Load
So far, my recent conversion of PC Mechanic to WordPress has been relatively trouble free. Of course, that is a matter of context. Switching publishing platforms on a site as large as PCMech isn’t exactly cake. It doesn’t turn on a dime. So, relatively speaking, it has been relatively pain free. However… One of the [...]
How I Converted a Non-Blog Site to WordPress
This post may have a few follow-ups – because it is a big subject. However, I just last night launched PC Mechanic as a WordPress -powered website. Easy right? Not so much. PC Mechanic is not really a blog. In fact, it doesn’t even resemble a blog. WebbyOnline (this site) is also WordPress powered, but [...]
vBulletin Maker Purchased by Internet Brands
In a rather shocking turn of events (at least for me), I found out today that Jelsoft Enterprises Limited, the makers of the famous vBulletin forum software, has been acquired by Internet Brands. In a word – whoah. This acquisition begs many questions, chief among them is whether the software will continue to develop as [...]
Google Free Tools Keep Getting Better
Google is the king of free web-based tools. I make routine use of Analytics, Gmail and Google Docs. I am also using Google Groups for a new group for WebbyOnline. I have used Google Webmaster Tools for site diagnostics. In short, I’m a big fan of Google. Google Docs Sports New Features This morning I [...]
How to Use StumbleUpon to Promote
A few months ago, I signed up for StumbleUpon. I downloaded and installed the toolbar on Firefox and started surfing. Pretty cool. However, I had seen a few people talking about using StumbleUpon for promotional purposes on their websites, with apparent success. Some were talking about driving thousands of visitors PER DAY to their sites [...]
